ANNOUNCEMENT


Dear Sir or Madam,


A Regional Center has been established at the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT) offering distance-based course on Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) under UN Water Virtual Learning Centre (WVLC) Program in collaboration with the UNU International Network on Water, Environment and Health (INWEH), Canada with support from UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN-DESA). The intent of the program is to provide training in Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM), through a core curriculum in distance learning. AIT is one of the three regional centres (one at University of Ghana and one at University of South Pacific) established under this program.


The WVLC distance-based learning program in IWRM particularly targets professionals and decision makers with few years of experience of working in water-related sectors in developing countries. Created by UNU-INWEH with materials from over 60 international sources and customized at AIT with regional examples and case studies, the 250-hour program consists of 10 courses. Course 1 and course 10 (2 weeks each) will be conducted at AIT. The graduates will receive a diploma in IWRM from United Nations University on successful completion of all 10 courses and satisfactory performance in the examination.


The curriculum offers broad-based coverage of the principles and practices of IWRM, providing the students with core knowledge in the natural sciences, engineering, health, governance, public administration, social sciences, economics, resource conservation, strategic planning, as well as aspects of program and project management. Students will be exposed to alternative approaches to issue management and programmatic responses. The curriculum is CD-ROM based as well as Internet-supported. The uniqueness of the program is that courses are identical whether installed on an individual computer from a CD or taken directly from the central server though internet.


The program provides scholarships for the selected participants residing in Asian countries covering the expenses for their international travels to Thailand (for Course 1 and Course 10). Closing date for applications is May 31, 2005.


Please find the attached announcement brochures of the program. For more information about the program, you may visit the website at http://www.sce.ait.ac.th/courses/wvlc/. The application form and the brochure are also downloadable from this website.


Please feel free to forward this mail and the attached documents on to interested colleagues/departments in your country.


Note: Currently, AIT will be accepting applications only from applicants working in Asian countries for this pilot phase of the program.
